Zusammenfassung:Enriched antibody population, highly specific for an antigen of a surface polysaccharide from a mycobacterium. In a related embodiment, the antibody is enriched by having been raised in an environment that maintains antigenically active antigen. These antibodies may be used in an immunoreactive environment for detecting the presence of a mycobacterial infection in a sample from a subject.
